The experts stress on the importance of advocating talks of family planning and reproductive choices among the people. Since there is no resistance to the idea of family planning, the need for its advocacy has not been felt in the country.

The experts support the role of private health care providers to improve service delivery system. They also speak about going door-to-door to distribute contraceptives. While people are familiar with common techniques such as birth control and ******s, not many know about effective methods like intrauterine devices.

The experts suggest grading the quality of public facilities made available to the common man at the sub-divisional hospital level and below. They insist on setting a quality standard, strengthening the system and creating a culture of quality so that the people always get the best service.
